The President of Venezuela offered rare praise for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) rescue team
The President of Venezuela offered rare praise for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) rescue team: “I would like to announce that yesterday we received a highly professional and skilled team from Israel, who arrived as a result of a connection established through the Jewish community in Venezuela. I would like to thank Rabbi Cohen for all the arrangements that made it possible for us to establish contact with the Israeli government and to bring here, at this very moment, a team of experts who have begun implementing the protocol for initiating the process of restoring infrastructure and assessing the condition of the infrastructure. And most importantly, this is a team of experts who are capable of determining whether there are any living people in a particular location or whether there are spaces that need to be evacuated, even before any other process of infrastructure restoration can begin. I am grateful to them for this. They have already held meetings with the authorities in Venezuela. This is a team with a very high level of training and professionalism, and I hope that we can continue to make progress at this stage.”
